Health Benefits of Horehound

Horehound is most widely known for its expectorant properties which make it a good remedy for coughs, colds, and congestion.  These expectorant properties also help to create a more effective cough because it loosens phlegm and helps to sooth tissues that can allow the phlegm to be ejected with ease.  Health benefits include:  

  • Is thought to be a good treatment for diabetes as it appears to lower blood sugar.
  • It is often used as a pain remedy. It can greatly reduce pain from toothaches, muscle cramps, sprains, and headaches.
  • Great for gallbladder health as it helps to stimulate the production of bile.
  • It is a wonderful antispasmodic and can be used to treat nausea, vomiting, carsickness, and other stomach ailments.
  • It is great to take after a meal to help with digestion. It helps to decrease flatulence and bloating.
